Torchwood<\/em> and Doctor Who<\/em> star John Barrowman has teamed up with his sister Carole to pen his first Torchwood<\/em> novel, Exodus Code<\/em>, and he’s so pleased with it, he’d like it to become the fifth series.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to see this book become the series or to become something in the future that could be done on screen with Torchwood<\/em>,” John Barrowman tells us, “and that is why it was important for [Exec Producers] Russell [T Davies] and Julie [Gardener] and the BBC to have their input, because if the show did continue then this must make sense.”<\/p>\n

The plot follows the events of Miracle Day<\/em>, the fourth series of Torchwood<\/em>, and Captain Jack [Barrowman] and Gwen [Eve Myles] are racing to save humanity. Women are being driven insane by heightened and scrambled senses, leaving governments and scientists baffled.<\/p>\n

This global scale is the direction Barrowman would like to see Torchwood<\/em> take if it were to return. “I think every time Torchwood<\/em> comes back it has to be something different,” he says. “We’ve always been challenged; we’ve been moved from network to network each series so we always have to build from scratch so I think if Torchwood<\/em> comes back it needs to be on a bigger, global scale.”<\/p>\n

The future of the show is still uncertain, however. “We haven’t been told no or yes, we’re in limbo.” But Barrowman is ready if it ever does: “Listen, I’ve always said if they ask me to put the coat on I will do happily because I love Jack,” he says. “I have it here ready!”<\/p>\n

Torchwood: Exodus Code<\/em> is published by BBC Books and is available now from Amazon priced at £11.04<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
